FOOD AT THE FESTIVAL!
OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH NH FOOD BANK
We have been very fortunate for the past 9 years to work with the New Hampshire Food Bank to present the many culinary dishes in a safe and efficient way. All food is prepared in the Food Bank's commercial kitchen under the supervision and support of the Food Bank's Chefs and culinary students from the Recipe for Success Program.
Chef Paul and his team work closely with the Festival committee and the new American food vendors to not only ensure food safety, but to provide support with menu planning and pricing, food preparation and service and other training that provides a valuable vocational experience for new Americans. These experiences have led to opportunities for several new Americans to participate in other events to cook and sell food, and inspired them to pursue their own culinary business ventures.
SUPPORT COMMUNITY FOOD VENDORS
Our New American neighbors love sharing their food with you and it's a great way for them to make some money! However, many of them don't have the means to purchase the ingredients ahead of time to be able to make enough food -- especially with the cost of food continuing to rise.
You can help by making a donation to help us purchase grocery gift cards for the food vendors.
Or you can donate gift cards to local grocery stores. Email Connect@ConcordNHMulticulturalFestival.org to arrange for pickup.
HELP FOOD VENDORS PREP
Volunteer for a shift on Saturday, September 21 at the NH Food Bank to provide support to the food vendors as they prep and cook their delicious foods for the Festival. Duties include food prep, dishes, light cleaning, and TASTE TESTING!
This popular opportunity fills up fast so be sure to sign up early!
GLOBAL FOOD TOUR
If you love delicious foods from across the globe, then this Global Food Tour is a great opportunity to take your experience to the next level! During the Tour, one of our NH Food Bank chefs will serve as your global guide, introducing you to the food vendors and making sure you have a great experience, eat great food, and learn from the wonderful New American chefs that now call greater Concord their home.

FOOD VOUCHERS
Attendees can purchase vouchers at one of 3 voucher tents located among the food vendors - look for the green banners that say VOUCHERS.
These tents are managed by Event Staff.
Vouchers can be purchased with cash only, no credit cards. There are many banks with ATMs around the vicinity of the Festival.
Vouchers will be in $1 and $5 increments, and have the same value as cash. Food items will be priced to correspond with vouchers.
Food vendors will not be able to accept payment of any form except for vouchers. This applies to all food vendors, food trucks, and restaurants.
Unused vouchers can be donated to the Festival, to friends or other attendees, or refunded at one of the Voucher Tents.
Purchasing from vendors with non-food items (craft vendors, etc.) can be done with cash, and in some cases, credit cards, depending on the vendor.

Each year, the Concord Multicultural features a full lineup of performances, food vendors, craft vendors, artists and activities that represent more than 30 cultures from around the world, presented by folks who live and work locally.
Our food vendors are immigrant owned restaurants and local community members who share their culture through the delectable dishes of their home countries, or their ancestors' countries. As you stroll through the Festival, your taste buds will delight in flavors from around the world!
